Tiger Home Opener Ticket Purchase Process Underway

DETROIT (WWJ) - Can spring be far away? Detroit Tiger fans waited in line at Comerica Park this afternoon to get wrist bands, so they can buy tickets for the home opener and other games on Saturday.

Tom, from New Baltimore, was there. He's been a Tiger fan for 50 years: "Because I'm a dedicated Tiger fan, you have no other choice, if you want to get opening day this is what you have to do," says Tom.

He thinks the Tigers will do well this season, just as he does every year.

"I'm a die-hard Tiger fan and I haven't missed opening day for many, many years, I want to come down here to get a wrist band," says Bill Edwards of Garden City,

Fans will have to come back to Comerica Park on Saturday morning. A random drawing will determine the order of the line.

Tickets go on sale at 10 in the morning. You can also buy tickets online, or at Tiger outlets.
